313 WEST 4TH STREET

Living History In The West Village

By AP Connolly

With careful reverence paid to the home’s historic past, 313 West 4th Street has undergone a meticulous two-year renovation. A flexible five-bedroom and seven-bathroom home, this four-and-a-half story plus finished basement residence now features approximately 5,300 square feet of sumptuous living space alongside 800-square feet of private outdoor space.

Initially constructed in 1836, the home sits among one of the oldest intact blockfronts in the West Village. Built in Greek Revival-style, this stunning townhome has been called the “best preserved” house in the row by the historic district report.

THE RESIDENCE
The parlor level opens to a stunning glass-and-steel foyer, laid with marble. Herringbone quarter-sewn white oak floors adorn a large rear living room, which features a wall of atelier-style windows and a handsome wood-burning fireplace. A helical staircase curves elegantly from level to level, while the elevator services the basement to the 4th floor.

Smart home features are integrated throughout this well-planned residence, as well as a comprehensive security system and Lutron lighting. Full-house humidification, wall sensors with individual thermostats for each room, and radiant heat flooring under hard surfaces provide year-round comfort. Additionally, the entire home is wired for sound with Bowers & Wilkins speakers.

THE KITCHEN & BEYOND
Number 313 offers the epitome of indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The garden floor is served by well-stocked kitchens inside and out and anchored by an exterior mudroom entry with storage. A sunlit breakfast room abuts the open chef’s kitchen, which boasts a massive Lincoln Statuario marble island and top-of-the-line appliances. Paved in bluestone, al fresco dining in the spectacular multi-level landscaped garden is effortless, thanks to the full outdoor kitchen.

The basement also holds a built-in Loracani TL-30 safe, custom temperature-controlled 500-bottle wine cellar, and a large media room. The serene full-floor master suite is graced with a decadent pass-through dressing area and luxurious bathroom, featuring a full slab Bianco Dolomiti steam shower with bench.

Above the master level, you’ll find two gracious bedrooms, each with well-appointed en-suite bathrooms. Crowning the home is a sun-filled space that is equally suited as an additional bedroom suite, artist’s studio, home office, or den.
